Northern Ireland Flag Protest

December 3, 2012 - 6:34 PM

Loyalist protestors, some of them carrying British flags, gather as councillors debate whether or not to keep the flag flying at City Hall, outside City Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland, Monday, Dec. 3, 2012. A Protestant mob stormed into the grounds of Belfast City Hall and clashed with police after the council’s Catholic majority voted to remove the British flag from the building for most of the year. Authorities say two police officers and a security guard were wounded during Monday night’s melee in the parking lot of the city hall.
